On: Wordle is pretty damn smart in many subtle ways

[robbiep]

Effectively there are 2 wordles at the moment - the my times link has a different word and I was using the old uk link and so my partner and I are having different words. Pretty funny/an opportunity to do the ‘crossword’ twice a day! (For however long they keep it up!)

It (the old version at least), is pure client-side... just download a copy and never worry about it going away.

ooh interesting - thanks! running from the same seed do you think, or a list that will iterate in a consistent manner across other users?

It's a hardcoded list, the NYT removed some words but didn't change the rest, so "old wordle" is just a few words behind "NYT wordle"

Ahh thanks! Unfortunately I upgraded to a new phone last night and have now lost it…
